July 2025

As we move through July quickly, there is a familiar energy beginning to build.  That energy includes planning, anticipation, excitement and a renewed sense of commitment and purpose.  In just a few weeks, our classrooms and hallways will once again be filled with the sights and sounds of learning and connection.  The 2025-2026 school year will be here before we know it and LJC6 will be ready to welcome everyone back.

This year, I am embracing the theme:  YOU: Your Strength, Our Team, One Purpose.  This message, I believe, is the heart of who LJC6 is as a district.  Every student, every staff member, every family and every community stakeholder plays a vital role in creating a district where each individual matters and every effort contributes to something bigger.  Your unique talents, your efforts are what make the LJC6 team stronger.  Together, we move into the new year with one shared purpose--student achievement and success.

LJC6 important dates which mark the beginning of our school year.

As we open our new spaces and look ahead to the future of our schools, we are mindful of Lone Jack’s rich history. We want to celebrate building, but we also want to celebrate people and stories that have shaped our district.  We are currently seeking historical photographs of the old high school and other district projects through the years; snapshots of building projects, grounds, student life, and community events over the decades.  If you or someone you know has visual memories to share, we would be honored to view them as we develop our tribute to our past and the generations that made LJC6 what it is today.  Any communication can be sent to kbutler@lonejackc6.net.

As we prepare to welcome everyone back, I want to give a huge thank you to our custodial team, our central office personnel and our AMPM staff who have been working so hard all summer.  They are so important to our district success and I am incredibly grateful for their year-round dedication.

We encourage families to take part in the beginning of the year activities.  Thank you for always partnering with LJC6.  We are ready for a year full of growth, relationships and achievement.
